John G. W. Tuthill ’40

Tut died Feb. 4, 2003, at Exeter [N.H.] Hospital. He grew up in the Chicago area, preparing for Princeton at North Shore Country Day School in Winnetka.

At Princeton, Tut majored in chemistry and graduated with honors. He was a member of the badminton team, Glee Club, choir, SFA Undergraduate Committee, MFH, Nassau Literary and Fox-Hunting Society, and Charter Club.

A 1943 graduate of Harvard Medical School, he was a lieutenant in the Navy,

serving in Okinawa and, after VJ Day, in China. His medical residency was at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in NYC and Boston City Hospital, with a brief stay at St. Mary's Hospital in London. For many years, he taught pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.

He moved to Exeter in 1954 and joined the Exeter Clinic. He also worked as head physician for Project Hope in Ganado, Ariz., training Navajo Indians as health care providers. Retiring from the Exeter Clinic in 1975, Tut became medical director at Phillips Exeter Academy until 1986. He enjoyed sailing but his passion was singing.

To his wife, Nora; sons John, Andrew, Alan, and William; and four grandsons, his classmates extend their sincere sympathies.
